This tour was very enjoyable, the driver, Roger was informative and supplied lots of information as we left Adelaide via Mt Barker and headed to Strathalbyn for a short break. A very nice country town with lots of interesting buildings. We then headed to Goolwa and looked at the lake and barrages, before heading into Victor Harbor. The causeway was amazing and the granite island offered many magnificent views. Plenty of wildlife around on the walk. Had a quick lunch break, before heading back to Adelaide via the McLaren Vale wine region.
Hi rkjohns2n, Thanks so much for your leaving us another fabulous review! We’re very happy to hear you also enjoyed the Victor Harbor and Southern Highlights tour, it certainly is a beautiful part of South Australia. Thank you for choosing us not once, but twice, for your day touring. Warm regards, Mara from Adelaide Sightseeing
We covered a great selection of Adelaide, Strathalbyn was a beautiful historic town. We had plenty of time to explore Victor Harbor . The guide was informative and engaging. A great trip.

Pete, the driver, was fantastic. His knowledge of the history of Adelaide was accurate and interestingly informative. He also had a quirky sense of humour, and his knowledge of interesting but unusual facts was hilarious. I liked his honest assessment of places to eat. I would most certainly recommend this tour company after 2 awesome experiences.
Hi Joanne, Hello again! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave another review and for choosing us for not one, but two of your SA touring experiences. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Victor Harbor and Southern Highlights tour and that Pete made the day so fun, informative, and full of quirky insights! We cherish his local knowledge, humour, and recommendations. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’re so glad both tours left such a great impression. We hope to see you back in Adelaide for more adventures in the future! Kind regards, Mara from Adelaide Sightseeing
A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE. A SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO PARK THE BUS IN THE OLD AREA OF STRATHALBYN SO WE COULD ENJOY A WALK UP & DOWN THE STREET TO ENJOY THE HOUSES.
Hello gayebario, we're glad to hear you had a great experience with us. Athol will be thrilled to know he played a key role in making your day memorable. Your suggestion about parking the bus in the old area of Strathalbyn has been noted. We always strive to make our guests' experiences enjoyable and your feedback plays a big role in that. We hope to welcome you on another Adelaide Sightseeing tour soon. Kind regards, Kathryn from Adelaide Sightseeing.
Amazing trip, best commentary of all 5 tours we went on. Phil was amazing and we loved the relaxing time
OK, but this is a "big bus" tour, not the same service as you get with a good guide on a 10-12 seater. Also targeted at retirees. Not fantastic for younger travelers, but some good sight seeing.
Thank you for your feedback, Scott. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion as we aim to provide a comfortable and scenic journey for all travelers. We're glad you enjoyed the sightseeing and appreciate your thoughts! Kind Regards, Holly from Adelaide Sightseeing
This experience was cancelled by the operator due to lack of other participants. I am wondering why Trip Advisor does not know this? I was told by operator that they will refund trip advisor, and trip advisor will refund me. So far no communications / email from trip advisor, instead a request for a review…. This is very poor.
Thank you for your feedback, and we were sorry that the tour was cancelled. The refund has now been processed, and you should receive your full payment in due course.
Great tour to see southern part of Adelaide, victor harbour is much better than Adelaide in case of weather and worth visiting. Chris was very informative
Thank you for your 5-star review Shaghayegh! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Victor Harbor and appreciated Chris’s informative guidance—it’s wonderful to hear you found the visit so worthwhile. We hope to welcome you back on another Adelaide Sightseeing tour in the future! Kind Regards, Blaire from Adelaide Sightseeing
The driver and guide were fantastic! I suggest making a stop in Gowla to fully appreciate the main attractions before heading straight to Victor Harbor. Spending at least two hours in Victor Harbor will allow us to enjoy the beautiful city and its stunning views. Overall, it was a worthwhile investment and a wonderful Saturday. Thank you for the opportunity
When I was on the coach, our driver introduced some historical properties and beautiful scenery, and he gave us time to take photos if time allows (as our group had 10 passengers).
